Personal Development and Animals?

Yes!  Personal Development and animals and important.

Part of my personal development plan is to embrace things in the world, to stop and notice myself, the environment, what is in it.  Essentially being in the present as much as possible.  As Eckhart Tolle would say “Being in the now”.

Animals are always in “The Now”.  They don’t worry about the past and the future they are just living in the moment and only thinking about that.  They have no Ego as such and what you see is the spiritual them.  Weird concept?  Not at all.

We have a cat,  Treacle.  She knows when we are feeling ill.

Do you have pets?  Then you know what I am saying.

A friend of mine runs a great blog and she wrote an amazing article about how her pets helped her get better after an addiction.  Take a look at the article here.

Animals and Recovery an invaluable gift

You see what Diane realised is that animals can feel emotion.  We can but our Ego gets in the way.  Busy Ego.

If we were just to slow our lives we would be able to feel just like animals do.  That is why you should always treat animals with grace and humility.

Part of my Personal development is to get more in touch with life.  This means getting out in Nature and just enjoying time with animals.  I love Treacle and talk to her all the time.  She is a cat and I realise that but she is also a spiritual being.

If you need some help in Spiritual aspect of your Personal Development then spend some times with animals.
